A woman was arrested by Tecumseh police March 2 after she drove away from the scene of a crash. According to a report released Tuesday by the Tecumseh Police Department, Madeline Ann Stelzer, 69, of Tipton is being charged with operating while intoxicated, refusing to take a preliminary breath test and leaving the scene of an accident. The incident occurred at 11:27 a.m. March 2.

Witnesses told police a car driven by Stelzer was eastbound on West Chicago Boulevard, went off the road and hit the sign at Brownie’s House of Pizza, 1002 W. Chicago Blvd., and then continued driving.

Officers found the car stopped at the intersection with Union Street and made contact with the driver.
